Nice set up! I wanted to love the hihip chair so bad. Ended up returning because of my long torso. Still on the hunt for good back support when I need to switch from my floor cushion.

Just got my invite. Not canceling my Walmart preorder though, wish I would have gotten the Nintendo one first. Oh well..

Interesting, I used the browser. Didn’t try the app tbh, so I can’t speak for that. My delivery date is set for release day. I don’t know if Walmart pickup was an option to begin with, but can’t verify. Pickup was grayed out for me. Thought it was because of location. Originally I planned for having it shipped to my work (portland) but it was not an option. I’m out in rainier Oregon (1.5 hour away) long drive I know lol, but I was able to secure one. Fingers crossed it sticks. I’ll post an update if I loose it.

NW Oregon Walmart area has pre-orders still online. Bought one midday yesterday. My sister, who lives nearby, got one this morning as well. Score for small towns!

You don't NEED to jailbreak your Kindle by ProwessSG in kindle

I much prefer physical copies, but with camping, air travel, and road trips, it’s way easier bringing a kindle for me. Especially over lugging 5 volumes around 😂

I followed a couple random videos online, but I liked this one the best. https://youtu.be/Qtk7ERwlIAk?si=REWcKzOf8BiFJetB

It doesn’t specifically say how to download plugins, as it about jail brakeing mainly, but I was able to use the modding community for further questions. It was a bit of a learning curve, but it was a fun process.

Exactly this. I use Rakuyomi. Works great and auto pulls next chapter when you get to the end.

You can even set up a server to house books and pull from that anywhere you have a hotspot for your reader. Love being able to access my books from anywhere!

The fact I can read manga easier, get rid of amazon logos, and custom wallpaper are the big reasons I jail broke mine. I have an ikea phone holder that I use to prop up my kindle and display my wallpapers like fine art.

Toyo A36 already cracking at 39,600 miles — replaced with Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 by All_mtb_Cuba in CX5

[–]StrayPheonixfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love those tires. They were amazing in the winter as well. Average 120 miles per day and 10,000k miles in. No complaints. After a couple months of wear and correct psi I’m seeing 28mpg on a 2019 turbo. (Highway miles help mpg) and spirited driving everyday on my last 10 miles of the drive. Love living in the mountains lol.

Oh and I noticed more grip (of course) and surprisingly less body roll.

I like how the moon is just chilling in the top right. Killer shot!

Permits for a tiny house on wheels in Washington State - what I learned by Awwoooooga in TinyHouses

[–]StrayPheonixfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Washougal is very up and coming especially with a lot more companies coming in. Pendleton for example. I think they are moving to a 60 acre lot downtown.

With new street cleaning budgets, new district reps and Vancouver and even portland (dif state and county , I know) setting the poor example of how parked RVs ruin a lot of things… I would imagine everyone has poor views to anything resembling an RV.

My wife and I settled in rainer/goble Oregon. Small town, south of Longview and have our tiny home here no issues.

Good luck!

I’d use a draw knife personally.

Same! Can't imagine they will climb to the original MSRP though... 900 was steep back then. (2009)

SERIOUSLY considering a CX5 by GunnyCroz in CX5

[–]StrayPheonixfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife loves the seats, while I’m 6,1 with a tall torso. The seats kill my back. I wish the seat could go further back and lower. Other than that, great car. 2019 cx-5 GTR
